摘要:

上下文强盗广泛用于工业个性化系统中。这些在线学习框架在存在随着观察到的用户的上下文特征而变化的治疗效果的情况下学习治疗分配策略。虽然个性化创建了反映个人兴趣的丰富的用户体验,但在社区中共享体验的好处是能够参与时代精神。这些好处是通过网络效应出现的,而不是在通常用于评估土匪的后悔指标中获得的。为了平衡这些需求,我们提出了一种新的在线学习算法,该算法保留了个性化的好处,同时增加了用户之间的治疗共性。我们的方法选择性地插入上下文强盗算法和上下文无关的多臂强盗之间,并利用上下文信息的治疗决策,只有当它承诺显着的收益。除了帮助个性化系统的用户在个性化和共享之间平衡他们的体验之外,通过使其选择性地依赖于上下文来简化治疗分配策略可以在某些情况下帮助提高学习率。我们使用公共数据集在分类设置中评估了我们的方法,并显示了混合策略的好处。

英文摘要:

Contextual bandits are widely used in industrial personalization systems. These online learning frameworks learn a treatment assignment policy in the presence of treatment effects that vary with the observed contextual features of the users. While personalization creates a rich user experience that reflect individual interests, there are benefits of a shared experience across a community that enable participation in the zeitgeist. Such benefits are emergent through network effects and are not captured in regret metrics typically employed in evaluating bandits. To balance these needs, we propose a new online learning algorithm that preserves benefits of personalization while increasing the commonality in treatments across users. Our approach selectively interpolates between a contextual bandit algorithm and a context-free multi-arm bandit and leverages the contextual information for a treatment decision only if it promises significant gains. Apart from helping users of personalization systems balance their experience between the individualized and shared, simplifying the treatment assignment policy by making it selectively reliant on the context can help improve the rate of learning in some cases. We evaluate our approach in a classification setting using public datasets and show the benefits of the hybrid policy.
